#1 Hack how to rewild our oceans

It's 1st of May. Sun is shining. I take a beach walk with my wife and dog. The butter garlic smell meets my nose while walking on the beach.

Oh my. Why again did I stop eating fish?

This newsletter would be a scam and distraction if I wouldn't go where it hurts.

So let's talk about the biggest driver of biodiversity loss in our oceans.

Fishing.

Third, you are here to take action. So what can you do about it?

💪 From easy to hard:

Watch Sea Spiracy

Buy only local fish, from local small fishermen

Have a look at WWF fish guides about your local fish

Eat fish only in restaurants

Shift from fish protein to plant protein (great recipes here)

Help your family, friends & collagues to switch

Get your company to take ocean actions

Demand & create new strict Marine Protected Areas

Pick 1 and start.

We all can create a wilder ocean simply by choosing what ends up on our plates.

In times of Trump & co. I found this quite empowering.

Have a wild weekend!

Best,
